Just Transformers.
A JoyToy Termagant, even with liberal amounts of heat, trying to rotate its bicep sheared the peg off from the shoulder.
>>11161413The IT-01 Emperor of Destruction, the panels above his feet that need to rotate were way too fucking tight, I ended up snapping the one on his right leg in half.

are there any pics of someone trying a nihilus headswap on the new maul body since he's on the old maul body?
>>11161102Most people switch him to Kylo Ren legs since that gives him extra height, maul is short
>>11160859I don't think those Leias ever actually made it to store shelves before being dumped on Ollies. I probably would have bought one.
>>11160848Is he the guy that tried to date rape Leia?
>>11161467I still see some at target, I think walmart got rid of them but they would have a bunch too. Honestly Leia always peg warms, idk why they keep making so many of her.They should've made a new ANH Han before Leia. There is still not a Han figure with pinless knees and butterfly joints and other recent articulation updates.
Didn't see a thread and there's only 12 hours to go until the end. It's already met its goals, but have you put in your pledge yet?They really kicked ass with the packaging. Way better than the first spawn and probably the best packaging I've seen apart from Hasbro SDCC exclusives. Anything worth bitching about?
Less than three hours to go.
Was never into Spawn but this is pretty fucking cool.
>>11160672Since it has now reached 2 million all accessories will come with it. Honestly, the figures are already being made and the insert was already there for all accessories, so the "free unlocks" were probably always a formality and the price clearly accounts for it all. I don't think Todd really thought the unlocks through, just thought they were cool the first time around, and pretended they were there this time. The first time there were no extras, or at least not revealed, so it genuinely felt like they were making new add-ons spontaneously at big milestones whereas this time we already saw everything and it was even shown in the pics on the KS.
Didn't seem like there was a lot of traditional hype for this once it started in the usual circles but I guess Todd became kind of a black sheep in the collector community once he went to statues for so long.
Ah, crap! I missed it!I mean...I beat the FOMO. Yeah...that's it...

Did Hemoxian do any more kits after the Thor one?
>>11161119i can't tell, arr rook arike 2 watashihttps://weibo.com/u/7772681952
Considering topcoating some of the kits I got (Never done before).I don't paint much, but I'll ask anyways.I can find Mr.Hobby matte spray here, is the premium upgrade worth it or will a few extra layers get the same result? I know I'll already have to postpone spraying anyways, as the moisture's too high here.Said spray is all good with waterdecals/stickers/gundam markers/tamiya paint? Read something about some coats not mixing well some time ago.How well does it hide nubmarks? Some I got are the glossy/darker kind with a faint lighter edge around them. Will sanding down more and spraying be enough to hide the new scratches from it?I'll probably try it out first on a cheap kit anyways I guess, just don't want to waste the money as hobby supplies are a bit pricey to get here.
>>11161183You don't want or need to do more than one coat. You should practice on something else first if this is your first time. Your are aiming for a coat wet enough to meld into one smooth continuous layer, but not so wet that it pools or gets thick and drippy. Spray in short bursts from around 10-12" away.Yes, price matters, better topcoat will be more matte. Matte topcoat quality is judged by how little light it reflects. Mr. Hobby is generally considered to be one of the best (it is the best in my book).
Do you think a gold color would work here for panel lining?

Can you smooth out the remastered figures with sandpaper or something? Or what are the odds they re-release them without the pores? Interested in getting them but the pores are really bothering kek
>>11161296I guess you could, but that is going to take more work than it is worth.
>>11161296Considering its playmates there’s a pretty damn low chance they’ll bother to change shit. They might fix the Leo/Don heads when they inevitably rerelease them but actually changing the molds? Nah. And fixing it yourself by sanding? No way, they’re too deep, you’d have to take off a ton of the plastic.
>>11153652>>11153656I feel like the first wave was just a waste of shelf space at this point.
What are the best bootleg action figure companies?
>>11161452I figured this. Even tons of major toy brands use recycled plastic. I have speculated for years that Funko Pops are made of recycled medical waste.
I actually think bootleg toys are a major unexplored rabbit hole. Its literally impossible that some executives at the big companies are secretly in on it. The bootleggers are getting tons of plastic and steel from somewhere and it definitely isn’t free. There are moles at hasbro and bandai getting these guys their plastic. Probably a huge reason these companies are bleeding money that is totally kept in the dark.
>>11161458>Its literally impossible that some executives at the big companies are secretly in on itIt’s impossible that they ARENT in on it*
>>11161458It would explain why prices keep jacking up.
Aren't there online suppliers that deal in bulk plastic for molding?

>>11161450>will Hiya eventually get to him?Even if they do with the way their release schedules have been going you won't see it for years and years.

nice pics, people should post moar about their collections
>>11149087waiting to see the finished result
>>11159799I've got about 2700 pieces in my collection. The majority of those are cars you can find in big-box stores in the United States- think 3" Hot Wheels and Matchbox. But I have a decent number of cars across all the major scales from more 100 different diecast brands.I like real cars so most of my collection reflects those tastes. I don't really care about Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Tomica, etc. If it's decent and acquirable I'll buy it.Pic is some cars I picked up on a trip to Europe earlier this year.
I love the 70s sci-fi aesthetic of stuff like the Hot Wheels Radar Ranger >>11152550 and Matchbox Planet Scout
Got one of these Track Dwagons and really like it, alt colours are dark grey with yellow transparent plastic iirc.Perfect for Gaslands. I number my cars when I paint them, and this one already having 009 on the side is perfect as it would be my 9th

SHFSS when ?
>>11161279isn’t the original based on the SHFSS?
>>11161373I doubt it would be the case, even with the SS Agito figures being relatively thin, the regular Shining Agito is even thinner than that and doesn't share the engineering at the hips for example. Also, Shining Agito came out before the Shinkocchou Seihou line debuted (February of 2014 and SHFSS Kabuto released the month after) and more than a year before SHFSS Agito Ground Form.
Are knockoffs like this illegal in the United States? Could I get in trouble for importing it? I just saw a review of this and I would love to buy it, but I am not sure if it'd be blocked at customs.
>>11157749not taking this bait
>>11157723you're kidding, right? god kids are dumb these days.there's very few things it's flat-out illegal to own. this falls under 'illegal to make'if the feds cared they would ban all chinese websites. which they should.
>>11157857I didn't know if tariffs kept them as illegal to import
>>11157723I remember the first time I saved a pic of a naked lady to my computer and went through customs, was seriously worried the feds were gonna collar me
>>11157723If you’re importing it in bulk to sell, yeah, probably.If you’re just importing it to have, it’s perfectly fine.

Blurp.
Sorry if not allowed, but was wondering. Been a fan of the channel for years now, in fact Retroblasting is a good reason why I've been a collector of other toylines besides transformers for as long as I have. There are toys and playsets I wouldn't have known about without it, for example I wouldn't have had any idea the remco mini monsters existed but for Retroblasting. That said... In the last few years at least... I have had a very, very difficult time engaging with anything on the channel except his toy videos. Michael seems.... Very self righteous to me, the sort of person who insists their bluntness is " just being honest", without taking anyone else into account. His latest video about the gijoe scale airwolf X was a hard watch.
>>11161255>multiple threads for Elvira for some reasonIf you didn't notice, two of the Elvira threads were Retrospam. Pic related. The Mezco one was probably started just because he found their cunny Elvira while looking for NECA pics. There has also been someone with a hard-on for Bobby Skullface. It's probably CC too, but I'm not sure. Someone posted a Skullface thread while he was "absent" but that doesn't mean shit since he loves to shitpost without his trip.
>>11161298It's all the same schizo.
>>11160484He does make some well researched, enjoyable content,but his rants should be consigned to a second channel, they make him seem like a tool with a chip on his shoulder.
>>11161255I don’t keep up with all the schizos, QRD?
>>11160484French is no where as near awesome as this guy
Well it’s that time again, we should be seeing the new 4H Figura Obscura figure for Halloween very soon. The headless horseman went up I believe October 1st and the masque of the red death went up on the 23rd of September last year. Either way, we should be seeing whatever this new one is very soon. Anybody have any predictions or wishlists of what it could be? I’d be down for a traditional vampire or maybe something like Bloody Mary that could come with a mirror for them to come out of or something. Also feel free to talk about general Four Horsemen stuff because I don’t think there’s a related thread right now.
>>11160819Both versions are great, but had I known about the orange and green one I would've rather have gotten that one. The green on the horse just makes it look more "spectral" and I just like the Halloween-y colors a bit more. Especially since I use it as a Halloween Decoration. Plus I got that Vampire Ranger around the same time, and he uses a practically identical build in almost the same black colors. So the purple on the Retail release would've made the Horseman figure feel more unique. >>11160831He's doing that in >>11160663, had him like that for a week on my desk before I messed with him again. The horses legs can definitely bear the weight in that stance, but balance can be an issue. You can use the tail to kind of tri-pod the horse though, so he's more stable. Long term, having him on a shelf like that without an actual stand, I can see the joints eventually failing and getting loose. But for posing and pictures, rearing back is no problem at all.
>>11160728In line with the very informative posts by HeadlessHorsemanAnon, I'd like to reiterate the idea not to overpay for past Mythic Legions. They are generic figures, so if you like a [knight, barbarian, skeleton, goblin, etc.] it's best to wait and preorder the next [knight, barbarian, skeleton, goblin, etc.] at a good price, especially since the line keeps getting better with more new and improved parts and a higher amount of accessories per figure.Check their wave list on their site to see what's coming. https://www.sourcehorsemen.com/mythic-legions/mythic-wavesOf those, the next wave to release is the Necronominus one.
Does four horseman not have any social media? I’m confused where we can find hints of when they reveal the figura obscura
>>11161321Did you try actually searching on w\e social media you use? Because they do have accounts. I've always just used the email newsletter and have never felt like i missed out on anything.
>>11161321>>11161350Kek yeah bro have you tried typing "four horsemen studios" into literally anything Jesus Christ no wonder legionscon is so full of retards when people like this are the fanbase
